Today, I want to celebrate one of my favorite photography techniques, the double exposure!

4 Shots From 4 Films: Celebrating Double Exposure

The Wrong Man (1956, Dir. by Alfred Hitchcock)

Psycho (1960, Dir. by Alfred Hitchcock)

The Story of Adele H. (1975, Dir. by Francois Truffaut)

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992, Dir. by David Lynch)

A Scene That I Love: The Cornfield Chase From Interstellar (2014, Dir. by Christopher Nolan)

When you talk about movies that feature great landscapes, you have to include Interstellar and the scene where Matthew McConaughey and his kids chase a drone through a cornfield.  The cornfield was real, Nolan actually planted corn to create it.  The cinematography, in this scene and throughout the entire film, is amazing.  When I saw this scene in the theater, it took my breath away.

Moments #21: Exploring The Back Yard Of An Abandoned House

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I simply can’t resist the opportunity to explore an abandoned house.  Check out this backyard!

A few weeks after I took these pictures, the city sent down a landscaping crew who mowed the grass and tossed out all of the tables and the chairs that had been left in the backyard.  It made me sad watching them do it.  I don’t know who once lived in that house or why they left their gate open but I’ve always wondered if they ever came back looking for their plastic chairs.  Watching it all get tossed in a dumpster felt like the end of an era.
